That's Spanish for the color green, a hue
that made its comeback Friday, Oct. 5, in
the form of a bicycle.
Friday morning during Chapel service,
the green bicycles
provided for the
campus by environ-mental-
conscious
organization Augie
Green were rededi-cated
for use.
"The green bikes
caught on really
well last year," Augie
Green president and senior Jeff Johnson
said. "When the bikes arrived on campus,
everyone was fighting to try and get to a
bike."
Based on the Yellow Bike Project that
has been implemented in cities across the
U.S., Augie Green felt that it was their mis-sion
to bring this project to Augustana.
After a successful debut last year, Johnson
and • his team have implemented plans to
create student pride in the bicycles.
"We wanted to bring the bikes to cam-pus
to cut down on the number of students
who drive to businesses around campus,
to class, or to the Elmen Center," Johnson

THE AUGUSTANA
Friday
October 5, 2007 MIRROR Vol. XCVI
No. 3
ESTABLISHED 19081 SIOUX FALLS, S.D.
Proposed $115 million capital campaign outlines future construction
By Ashley White
Mirror Forum Editor
Two donations totaling
roughly $12 million have fueled
a desire to improve the academic
reputation of Augustana, accord-ing
to President Rob Oliver.
Oliver, along with Augustana
administration, is currently in
the process of implementing a
$115 million campaign to reno-vate
the Mikkelsen Library, ex-pand
the Gilbert Science Center
and double the college's endow-ment
fund over the next five
years.
"This is a vote of confidence
in our future," Oliver said. "Au-gustana
is already a place where
people grow, and these invest-ments
will alloW that to continue
in the future."
The plan de-pends
entirely
on donations
from alumni,
family of current
and past stu- Jon Henkes
dents and those
who are simply inspired to give.
This campaign will be the largest
in the history of the college.
- The administration feels that
$115 million in donations is a
practical goal for the next five
years. Plans to recruit more do-nors
are already being discussed
by development staff.
"It's realistic and achievable,"
said Jon Henkes, vice president
for development. "I'm optimis-tic
that our goal is either right-on
or too low."
Approximately $7 million
will go toward renovating the
Mikkelsen Library, which Oliver
announced in September. An-other
$46 million will be used to
expand the Gilbert Science Cen-ter.
This addition will include a
state-of-the-art nursing center.

symposium
By Corey Hermanson

Augustana alumni will return
to campus Friday, giving students
an inside glimpse at their profes-sional
lives during the Viking Days
Alumni Career Symposium.
Business owners, professors,
doctors, writers, human resource
professionals and Secretary of the
U.S. Senate Nancy Niedringhaus
Erickson highlight a lineup of 15
panel discussions. Some of the
alums will be local, while others
are coming from as far away from
Alberta, Canada; Chicago, Ill. and
West Lafeyette, Ind.
Students will have the chance
to quiz the alumni on a number
of topics, including their current
position, how they got where they
are, trends in the industry and
what they would do differently if
they were back at Augustana.
Academic areas covered in the
Symposium include accounting,
art, biology, communication, com-puter
technology, education, Eng-lish
& journalism, finance, HPER,
human services, leadership, mar-keting

Noted chimpanzee observer invited to campus

Mirror Staff Writer
It all started with a phone call. Steve
Rasmussen of the Messengers of Heal-ing
Wings Foundation called planning
committee member Nathan Dally and
asked a simple question that led to an
event on the Augustana campus.
"Would Augustana be interested in
hosting Jane Goodall?"
Nathan Dally replied with a "yes ab-solutely,"
and that is how Jane Goodall
became part of Viking Days week.
AcCording to Dally, Jane Goodall is
a researcher who spent 45 years in the
Gombie desert studying chimps. She
was a pioneer of in her field, particu-larly
because she is a woman. Good-all
made dramatic discoveries in her
research and greatly enriched future
studies on primates.
